Redtail Beetle Kill

Over the years, my guitars have been passion projects built for the sheer fun of it and rarely for the public. Now, for the first time, I'm offering a custom run of 9 Beetle Kill pine guitars which feature my handwound Redtail P-90 pickups. Every guitar will have its own unique look due to the colorations that the mountain pine beetle leaves in the sapwood. As the guitars become available, I'm putting them on my Reverb shop. If you don't see one in stock, please contact me and I can let you know about the availability of future builds.
